That sound you hear is the frogs salivating at the chance it might be Lance.
After 17 months of legal wrangling and an investigation by Basque authorities to determine the source of some purportedly tainted steaks that Alberto Contador said he ate during the 2010 Tour de France, an appeals court ruled Monday that Contador, a three-time winner of the Tour, was guilty of doping.
The decision from the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland, resulted in Contador’s being stripped of his victory in the 2010 Tour and 12 other victories since then, and is yet another blow to a sport that has been repeatedly tarnished by doping scandals among the best cyclists in the world.
Only two Tour de France winners since 1995 — Carlos Sastre in 2008 and Cadel Evans last year — have not become embroiled in controversies involving performance-enhancing drugs. Contador is perhaps the most talented cyclist of his generation and one of only five riders to win the grand tours of France, Italy and Spain. His downfall was a positive test for clenbuterol, a weight-loss and muscle-building drug, during the 2010 Tour.
Some farmers are known to give clenbuterol to cattle and swine to improve their market value. Contador claimed to be a victim of such bad meat.
He told investigators that because he prefers Spanish cuts of meat, a friend purchased a large veal tenderloin in the Basque Country near the French border and brought it to nearby Pau, where it was cooked for Contador and his teammates at a hotel. In elaborate detail over several pages, the panel’s decision describes how an inspector from the Basque government’s department of public health confirmed statements from Contador’s friend as well as his team’s chef that 3.2 kilograms of “veal solomillo,” a large piece of tenderloin, were purchased from the Larrezbal butcher shop at the rather steep price of 32 euros per kilo by Contador’s friend. Inspectors traced the veal back to a wholesale supplier, a slaughterhouse and finally a farmer named Lucio Carabias.
Calculations were presented to the panel showing that Contador had probably purchased about half of a calves’ tenderloin and that the calf likely weighed 290 pounds. What no one found, however, was any evidence that the calf had been given clenbuterol.
Contador was unable to produce a sample of the tenderloin. The three-member appeals tribunal concluded that Contador’s claim, while possible, was not substantiated. 16 Replies to Tour de France Winner Found Guilty of Doping |

Again, kudos to Lance Armstrong for having successfully avoided detection of the performance enhancing drugs he took.
Congratulations for a masterful cover-up

Money buys you the best "shit", its known! JLS is full of shit, performance enhancing drugs is everywhere in professional sports, it's part of the business to please gold medals and records craving masses and sponsors...
Funny fact: guess what "Lance" is planning to do after retiring from cycling? |

If we could only test Frenchmen for hygiene and honesty, we could throw them all out of any business dealingds or international accords. Poor losers. They can't win anything including wars or wine competitions. |

They really ought to legalise these drugs. There's so much doping going on these days that there are probably very few "clean" winners in any sport. They test for drugs but then new ones come along that tests miss. Might as well be open about it. |

Le mari et entraîneur de Jeannie Longo, Patrice Ciprelli, interpellé dans une affaire de dopage présumé
Une dizaine d'hommes de l'Office central de lutte contre les atteintes à l'environnement et à la santé publique (OCLAESP) ont fait irruption ce matin dans le chalet du couple Jeannie Longo-Patrice Ciprelli, à Saint-Martin-le-Vinoux (Isère), révèle L'Équipe.
Les enquêteurs, qui agissaient dans le cadre d'une enquête préliminaire ouverte le 14 septembre 2011 par le Parquet de Grenoble, ont effectué une perquisition du domicile de l'ex-championne de cyclisme préférée des Français et de son mari. Ce dernier a été placé en garde-à-vue. L'information a été confirmée par une source proche de l'enquête. Jeannie Longo serait entendue comme témoin. Si la responsabilité de celle-ci était avérée, sa participation aux Jeux Olympiques de Londres serait remise en cause.
Au moins cinq opérations suspectes
Mobilisés sur cette enquête depuis la révélation par L'Équipe d'un achat d'EPO chinoise opéré par Patrice Ciprelli via Internet en avril 2007 à un certain Joe Papp, trafiquant américain, les gendarmes d'Arcueil (Val-de-Marne) n'auront pas mis longtemps pour cibler de nouveaux présumés achats d'EPO effectués par le même homme, lors des années 2010 et 2011. Si la première transaction délictueuse (2007) était prescrite par la loi, ces importations ne le sont pas et pourraient donc valoir de sérieux ennuis à Patrice Ciprelli sur la base d'articles issus du Code de la Santé, du Sport et des Douanes.
Selon les informations du quotidien sportif, les gendarmes auraient identifié au moins cinq opérations suspectes opérées par Ciprelli auprès d'un fournisseur d'EPO étranger: deux en 2010 et trois en 2011. Parmi ces trois dernières, les enquêteurs auraient formellement récupéré deux factures d'environ 500 euros chacune, identifiant un compte bancaire au nom de l'époux de Jeannie Longo ainsi que la nature de la marchandise importée via Internet et des colis postaux: de l'Eprex, EPO de première génération.

Only the french could have a national sport that they hate and have total contempt for it.
Here's an idea you frog dickheads,... if you claim everyone is doping, disband the sport already, stop following it, stop hosting it, stop participating in it, you worthless bunch of jackasses.
What is it that really bothers you? That Lance has never been proved to be doping, even though you claim "EVERYONE" is? Or the fact that even if your guys are doping along with everyone else - they still suck and are a bunch of doping losers?  |

Cycling is France's national sport now ? You need to get out of your wood once in a while BP.
Anyway, there hasn't been a clean TdF winner since at least Lemond, Armstrong being clean is a running joke. |

You imbecile, negative tests are merely lack of evidence of doping, not evidence of cleanliness. There have been more than enough testimonies of athletes in the history of sports who admitted to doping for years before they failed a test to understand why.
On the other hand, Armstrong having picked this guy for a coach, having tested positive out of protocol, having multiple of his former teammates come forward to point out that he was doping with the rest of them, that makes him more than a little suspect.
But hey, you can be gullible if you like. After all, Floyd Landis was clean too according to the FF clown show. |
